Research shows what families and therapists like myself have known for years - it's time to stop blaming the families for school refusal and instead get curious about WHAT STRESSES KIDS OUT AT SCHOOL. This is true for school refusal and so many other mental health challenges (anxiety, suicidal ideation, cutting, and more).

What a fun activity in itself! And also a great way to connect with kids, increase a sense of safety through brain-body work, and co-regulate!

Thanks Untigering!

“We need to fundamentally rethink how adults relate to children.”

By removing punishment,
control,
coercion,
belittling,
manipulation…

By sharing power,
building connection,
nurturing trust,
showing respect,
listening with empathy…

How are you rethinking how you relate to children?

Teens today often know more about themselves and what they need and want in life than we give them credit. Sometimes what they need is the space and support to explore their experiences and figure things out. I'd love to help. If your teen is looking for a safe place to explore stress, anxiety, social and academic pressures, body image, overwhelm, and life in general, I have in-person availability on Thursdays starting as early as 3:30p.

Teens today know more, experience more, and are navigating a world that is both bigger and right at their fingertips. They don't need us to have all the answers, they need a safe place to explore experiences, thoughts, feelings, and their support needs while they figure out who they are and how they want to show up in this world. If your teen is looking for a safe place to explore stress, anxiety, social and academic pressures, body image, overwhelm, and life in general, I have in-person availability on Thursdays starting as early as 3:30p.
